I looked through my window and a couple sunflowers happily smiled at me. That deserves a picture, I thought so I grabbed my camera and shot some photos. The dwarf apple tree behind the sunflower has 5 fruits that are very hard and green. I am waiting for them to turn yellowish, afterall, its name is golden sentinel. In the past years though, the squirrels always got to them before they could turn yellow. I am seriously risking losing the apples to the squirrels by waiting.

I am also seeing the last of my hydrangeas this summer. :-(

I am seeing the last of my hydrangeas these summer. Yesterday some sunflowers bloomed, smaller smaller than I expected.

more herbs and lots of stevia
Stevia leaves will be dried and ground.

the English roses are getting smaller by the bloom
